Fairy Houses Go Large

At first, the fairy houses were tiny - about three inches tall (fairies don't do metric...)

But then they doubled in size to six inches...

And then grew a little larger to become a ten inch  doorstop (request of Miss U-t-B, who is luckily not too old for a bit of nonsense!)...

Fairies share my love of Liberty fabric.  They insist on  Liberty or vintage fabric (ideally feedsack) for their curtains.

Then one of the fairies requested a home for her elf-friend.  I made the mistake of calling this a 'Gnome Home' but fairy and elf were most upset!  Elves and gnomes are quite different, they argued, though they did agree that elves and gnomes do share a love of flowers and gardens...

After a busy week of shoeboxes packing and wrapping, sewing, CS sorting and half-term shenanigans, I am now mostly to be found buried under a mound of curtain fabric, lining and heading tape.  It's getting a bit chilly to admire the view out of our uncurtained-since-redecorating window, even if the autumn colours are so lovely!
